Review summary

Though the ship was a bit outdated, it was still a fun cruise. My kids LOVED it! Although my kids are very introverted and did not attend the kids programs, they still had fun roaming the ship, playing in the arcade and in the pools! Both Cozumel and Progresso were tons of fun! You could get away with no excursions in Cozumel and just walk into town. However, Progresso has a dock about a mile or so out into the bay, so you have to at the very least rent a taxi to get anywhere.

Port NOLA was really disorganized, but we made it.
